Belial Scorns And Rejects AuthorityJude 8 “Nevertheless in like manner, these dreamers also corrupt the body, scorn andreject authority and government, revile and libel and scoff at [heavenly] glories (theglorious ones).”“I agree with the pastor, but I have a better idea.”“I agree with the pastor, but I think we should do it this way.”Their mouths are full of “buts” and they’ll make sure their “butts” will get through! Theywill not lay down their agenda and they will make sure that their agenda gets pushedthrough. If they cannot get it through they will look until they find a church where theywill get their agenda through. They reject authority and speak evil of leaders.Jude 16 “These are inveterate murmurers (grumblers) who complain [of their lot inlife], going after their own desires [controlled by their passions]; their talk is boastfuland arrogant, [and they claim to] admire men’s persons and pay people flatteringcompliments to gain advantage.”They try to get people swayed towards them so that they get an advantage. They will bepeople who will gather a group around them to get their agenda into the church. Theywill develop a power structure on their own to oppose what the pastor / leaders say andto get their agenda into the church / ministry / mission organization. These people havesuch strength in their human personality that they will pull you away even if you don’twant to go. You get influenced to go in a way you would never have done if you were onyour own.For Example:Samson was constantly defiled by the sons of Belial.Defilement Is BewitchingGalatians 3:1 “1 O YOU poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senselessGalatians! Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom—right before your very eyes—Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was openly and graphically setforth and portrayed as crucified?”“Bewitched” – use ill words of another to slander, to bewitch by spells or by means of anevil eye.130
